Glenswilly GAA Club has launched an ambitious Girls GAA Academy in a bid to bring the best from the ladies section of the club.
The club last night officially launched an ambitious six year plan which aims to see the club’s ladies senior team achieve and retain Division One status.
Launching the plan, the club’s Ladies Senior Team manager Gerard McGinty, said he was delighted by the tun-out at the launch.
He also stressed that while improving standards amongst the girls and ladies of the club was the aim, there had to be an emphasis on fun and enjoyment.
“This is an ambitious plan but we have the coaches and the dedication of players at this club to make it work.
“There is no reason why Glenswilly cannot be a major force in ladies football in Donegal,” he said.
Addressing the launch, Donegal Ladies GAA and Termon star Therese McCafferty said it was terrific to see Glenswilly launch such an initiative.
“As well as improving yourself as a footballer, this initiative will encourage other girls to join the club and make new friends and that is also a major part of what the GAA is about,” she said.
Chairman of Glenswilly GAA Club, Peter McConnell, said the club was full behind the initiative.
